I admit: if Tim Ferriss and James Altucher do a podcast together, it’s almost certainly added to this list. But there’s nothing I can do about it. They’re both great by themselves and when they sit together, they’re exponentially better. They talk about a lot of topics. All come from Tim’s new book, Tribe of Mentors, which is an interview book. He asked more than 100 peak performers questions on how they got there. Tim and James discuss some of the answer’s Tim received and add another layer to them. So good!

I love being a father. Giving my kids what they need and not making too big mistakes in my parenting is the most important thing I can do. When it comes to mistakes, being an overprotective parent is a big one. Kids need to learn how to deal with risk. And that only happens by exposure. This article shines light on the topic: why kids need to learn managing risk and how you make that happen without being irresponsible. It’s a great piece that every parent should read.

Scott Adams predicted Donald Trump’s win 2 years before election day. Policies played no part in that prediction. It was all about Trump’s skill to persuade. Scott Adams knows a thing or a thousand about that topic. And you can learn a lot about it from this episode. Plus you will never see Trump in the same way again: you’ll recognize what he does and why it works on people who have no idea what he is doing. It’s fascinating. And you can use it in your life as well. Persuade better if you need to. But more importantly, become more aware of persuasion attempts aimed at you and how to disarm them!

Tim Ferriss sits down with his friend Derek Sivers. Derek is a musician, programmer, entrepreneur, writer…I guess it’s fair to call him a jack-of-all-trades. He also happens to have a beautiful view on life and its issues.

They discuss a lot of topics almost everyone is dealing with and give practicable insights and inspiring ideas on how to be better. And it’s entertaining as well.

I can’t recommend this interview enough, it’s one of my absolute favorites.
